Controversy over Tang June's "Education gate"

Recently, the top of the head of "China's first professional managers", "Chinese working emperor" and other rings, the current Xinhua group president and CEO of Tang June because of "education gate" incident, aroused widespread public concern: Popular science writer Ark in his microblog with informative evidence pointed out. "Ph. D. In computer Science, California Polytechnic University," Tang June said in his book "My Success can be reproduced" and "Karaoke", "Big head stickers camera" Two patents, are all fake; Tang June and his assistant Xin clarified this, saying: "Everything is groundless", " I did not tell anyone at any moment, on any occasion, that I was a ph. D. at Caltech. However, the facts speak louder than words, believing that the rational public will be able to make their own judgments if they make a comparative analysis of the evidence of both sides.

Tang June's "Education gate" event so eye-catching, affecting the people, in addition to the popularity of the parties concerned, I am afraid also because of this matter again exposed to the grim fact that the people worry: academic corruption repeatedly banned, scientific research integrity crisis. Far from saying that, but last year, the academic corruption incident has been repeated, it is dizzying: Zhejiang University Pharmacy original Professor He Haibodo thesis plagiarism fraud, Engineering Academy academician Lianda Deep in it, Engineering Academy academician Rotol accompany sued Peking University People's Hospital Hematology Institute director Huang, Refers to the latter the first creation of their own GIAC technology system as their own; Huang, vice president of Southwest Jiaotong University, the vice president of the School of Journalism and Communication Jiashiu in the teaching of professional title evaluation submitted false material; Lujierong and normal, vice president of Liaoning University, published the article "What is the theory"? ", At least 80% of the content belongs to "copy"; University of Jinggangshan lecturer Liu Tao and Zhong are suspected of forging data and 70 papers in the International academic journal Crystal Journal in two years.

In addition to plagiarism, fraud, other academic corruption can not be ignored: the backdoor access to scientific research funds, story fraud awards, collective fraud to meet the assessment of the examination ... This kind of evil, incredibly spreads to the respectable academician circle: Individual academician candidate provides false material, violates the scientific procedure to intervene the appraisal, the award, even intervenes the academician to co-opt and so on, really shocking! Why are these academic acts of corruption repeatedly banned or even intensified? An important reason is that our country's "good People culture", and related departments. Many knowledgeable colleagues and colleagues "less than one thing", on the side of the fake behavior blind, deaf ear, even if the fraud has been exposed after the tight-lipped, noncommittal, the unit of the counterfeiters to maintain the unit's "image" and interests, or small, trivial, or take delaying tactics, nothing, Some even find reasons to justify the fraud; The competent authorities are also the thunder, rain, see the staircase, Stray-the rampant academic corruption, public opinion so, not seen a competent department, come up with a set of operational, with a deterrent to specific measures.

Indifferent, armchair "Hars", and Bluff, to calm the fight against the "principle", is tantamount to the academic corruption of the harbouring indulgence. Thousand people Connaught Connaught than a 谔谔, in such a "harmonious" social environment, Ark Son's move, more commendable, admirable. You know, the risk of challenging a successful person so famous can be expected. According to reports, Tang June's assistant Xin that the purpose of the Ark is likely to be "the use of Tang June's fame to hype himself", but also released words: "To retain the right to hold Ark legal responsibility", and Fang himself revealed that he had received a threatening call on the afternoon of July 2.

Scientists, scholars and professors are the conscience of society. The academic corruption not only corrupted the academic atmosphere, disintegrated the academic morals, but also eroded the body of science and education like terrible cancer cells, devoured the intellectuals ' soul, eroded the foundation of building an innovative country building, and even tarnished the international reputation of Chinese academia. As Fang said in an interview with Phoenix: "Our society needs integrity ... If we fake it in the field of academic education and scientific research, it will be endless for our society.

The scraping bone can cure the poison, except the tumour can go to disease. I hope our society can have more fighters like Fang, not afraid of risk, speak out; also hope that Shangguang government departments and universities, scientific research units, academic groups, the pain of determination, take out confess, effectively curb academic corruption, but also science with dignity, and society in good faith, to the people hope!
